One more thing and im done.
I also dont get down with the whole import VS domestic, I think its stupid.
Without Imports, you domestic guys would still be rolling around on push rods and **** for cornering stability in your steel box freight cars. Without domestic guys imports wouldnt have had the strive to create high mpg powerhouses with new technology such as turbo chargers, better ecu's and injection timing and sturdy drivetrains. So battling which is better to me is ignorance, without one we would be nowhere close to where we are now. They go hand in hand, thats why Nissan owns 40% of GM today.

Nah your not dumb you just rounded up from 260... by like 40 ponies(yamahor @ May 27 2007,16:25)I know those well... I overthought this stuff while on there, and somehow 300hp got in my head... Still haven't figured out how I managed pulling that number from the dyno's... I'm dumb...
I think I was thinking "Okay, 260 with all this stuff on it, at the wheels... Spend another $500 on a good Venom Nitrous kit, and I'll be around 350-ish with a 100 shot..." Then my mind still screwed it up somehow.(HAYA!Busa @ May 27 2007,17:11)Nah your not dumb you just rounded up from 260... by like 40 ponies(yamahor @ May 27 2007,16:25)I know those well...

Only 28(300Busa @ May 27 2007,01) They only made 28 cars like mine
That is in my color with the acr package and in 2005.
I like those lil cars, they are way faster then my kids electric scooter
BTW my lug nuts require more tq then that lil putt putt makes
How about 381 whp with a 3.0L SHO motor? My dyno is on my other computer, but that was with my stock motor. The new motor will be much more powerful. Depending on what boost this new pulley gets me to, I'm estimating somewhere beween 450 - 510whp out of a 3.2L SHO. As far as handling the power, it can be made to handle the power pretty well. I've only got about 120 miles on the motor right now.
As far as the 3.2L running 300 whp NA.... Not very likely. You'd have to really turn it into a different engine that'll rev to 10 - 11k RPM.
For the quoted comment... This late 80's engine can attain ~280whp NA when built and tuned properly... And it will still drive like a normal street car.
Ben, the way you make these SHO engines out to be is that it's just a simple rebuild and boom!, you automaticly have an extra 100ponies. It don't work that way. Nothing works out that way.
If you think something is only gonna cost you $800 to build, in reality it's gonna run $1500 at a minimum. It's too difficult to acccount for all the little nickle&dime costs associated with building cars. Even if you rebuild the engine with just rings, bearings and a hone drill attatchment it'll still run you $2-300. Then you have to buy the gaskets which will run another $80-150. IF you decide to port the heads and have some valve work done, then your looking to have anywhere in the neighborhood of $750-1500 for good head work. Throw in some cams and it can add another $90-200. Of course your gonna want the mill to live and you'll add ARP rod bolts. $50 for the bolts, $100-200 to resize the rods after the bolt install. And that is just the rods. Things can add up real quick, i know, remember my 70' C10? That mild build turned into a couple thousand dollars overnight and i didn't even build up the motor. It was a stock reman overhaul that needed a crank.
Do some reasearch first. Trust me on this.
Done the research... As long as the engine I find is in good condition, I should be alright. Just looking at doing the engine refreshing and the Ypipe now. Not gonna do many mods since I'm going to MMI... Gotta get some money for that too...And no, I wasn't expecting to get 100hp with a simple rebuild... I was looking at Cams, Big Bore Butterflies, and a 73mm Throttle body. But, thats almost a grand in mods... Add to that the headers I wanted, and thats another 450... Thats why I'm not doing many mods... And again Paul... I like this car, cause it's not a mustang, but still can whoop up on some cars AND get great gas mileage.
I wish cams were only $200... They're about $550 for the SHO. ARP doesn't make rod bolts for these rods. After sending in a rod for them to match something up, they had nothing and mentioned that it could cost me $1,500 for them to fabricate some.
The motor does cost money to rebuild... As does any motor, however, if you know where to go and what to get, you can do it relatively cheap. I've gone through the process of just about every mod on this motor. You really don't need to do much to get 400-500hp. Even the stock pistons will do.
He's on the SHO Forum.... I'm sure he's read everything he's needed.
